Navigating the updated Google Gemini workspace? Here is a quick look at how the core features are structured to help manage daily administrative and prep tasks:

⌚ New Chat / Chat History: Start a fresh thread for each distinct task and manage your previous conversations

⚒️ The Tools Menu: Direct access to dedicated AI modalities, including Canvas, Deep Research, and media generation (images, video, music).

➕ The "+" Button: Use this to upload files directly from your computer, Google Drive, or NotebookLM to provide context for your prompts.

🔃 Model Switcher: Toggle your settings to prioritize speed ("Fast") or depth ("Thinking" / "Pro") depending on the complexity of your task.

Here's a look at what the new STUDENT home page looks like for Google Classroom.

It's pretty much the same as the teacher page, but with due dates and upcoming assignments that are related to the courses the student is taking.

The "class tools" section will list any Gemini Notebooks or Gems that have been assigned by the teacher.

The familiar class cards are still there, at the bottom of the page.

Google Vids has a built in teleprompter to help you record smooth, professional video. Your script appears over your video so that you can read while looking directly into the camera.

This feature is available for ALL Google Workspace customers. Just look for the "record" button on the far right side of the screen.
